Selection criteria

Participants are required to provide a motivation letter and a one-page CV.

We aim to have early-career researchers from all continents. We will focus on PhD students and recently graduated postdocs from Biology, Mathematics, and Computer Science fields. We are aware that most students might come with a computational biology background, but we will look for students from these areas as their contribution is paramount to this community.

Gender balance is a goal that has our utmost attention. We have a balanced organizing committee and presenters' list, and we aim to have a balanced students' list.

Participants will be reviewed on correctness, originality, and technical strength of their abstract and the alignment to the workshop topics with their career and interests stated in their CV and motivation letter.
